The latest case in point is the mainstream media&#8217;s breathless attacks on Dr. Ben Carson for daring to suggest that the disarming of the Jews by the Nazis helped facilitate the Holocaust.<\/p>\n<p>Carson made the suggestion in his new book A Perfect Union. &nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/ben-carson-suggests-holocaust-jews-armed\/story?id=34349693\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">From ABC<\/a>&nbsp;which made the issue one of their lead stories on the ABC Evening News with (anti-gun) David Muir.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<i>In Carson&#8217;s new book \u201cA Perfect Union,\u201d Carson writes that \u201cthrough a combination of removing guns and disseminating propaganda, the Nazis were able to carry out their evil intentions with relatively little resistance.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Wolf Blitzer got in on the breathless outrage with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2015\/10\/08\/politics\/ben-carson-gun-control-2016-election\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the interview below<\/a>:<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"234\" src=\"http:\/\/www.cnn.com\/video\/api\/embed.html#\/video\/politics\/2015\/10\/08\/ben-carson-gun-control-nazi-germany-intvw-wolf.cnn\" width=\"416\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Politics\/ben-carson-suggests-holocaust-jews-armed\/story?id=34349693\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">What I found particularly sad was this comment<\/a> from a spokesperson for the Anti-Defamation League:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\n<i>\u201cBen Carson has a right to his views on gun control, but the notion that Hitler\u2019s gun-control policy contributed to the Holocaust is historically inaccurate,&#8221; said Jonathan Greenblatt, National Director of the organization. &#8220;The small number of personal firearms available to Germany\u2019s Jews in 1938 could in no way have stopped the totalitarian power of the Nazi German state.&#8221;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;I might remind Mr. Greenblatt that a very small number of firearms <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Warsaw_Ghetto_Uprising\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">allowed Jewish resistance fighters to keep the Waffen-SS at bay in the Warsaw ghetto<\/a> from April 19, 1943 until well into May. The final resistance was crushed on June 5th.<\/p>\n<p>As to the rest of the media, I think a simple picture will suffice to say that Ben Carson was correct in saying the lack of arms allowed the Nazis to perpetrate their crimes with relative impunity.
